A mammoth is going to get killed for meat the moment they bring one back And then they will be Extinct all over again

That or the heat will kill it in a day

Sega loves Nintendo…Sega is close to Microsoft…but what about Sony?

I was guessing the heat, actually. Great minds think alike, it seems!

Violet update - I spent most of today looking for Gimmighoul coins and slowly leveling up my team (though not grinding cause that's cringe), but I did manage to beat Larry and Iron Treads. The team -

Jabbanero the Skeledirge
Oozaru the Primeape
Ado the Nacklstack
Capitalism the Gholdengo
Oodie the Farigiraf
BrendanFrizr the Cetoddle

And yes, other than the fact that half of my team is not yet fully evolved, this is gonna be my final team

I could evolve Brendan at any moment but I want to keep him unevolved for now

[TMNTSSB4]

some news reporter spread a lie saying that Sega said Microsoft loved them more than Nintendo and Sony…tweet and I think account are now gone due to this clip

To be clear, SEGA Sammy COO never mentioned Sony and Nintendo in this context

He says " Microsoft see the value in us a lot"
Not "more than others"

Watch the video of what he exactly says👇
- Good relation with Xbox but no comparison/ shade at PlayStation
- No to acquisitions https://t.co/3AFeeOF53U pic.twitter.com/DScTF8NRd5

Any scientist claiming they'll be bringing back mammoths is a quack.

Nah, you just gotta put the Mammoth's Tusk item in the fossil restorer and it'll bring a mammoth back to life like in Pokémon

I had hoped Illuminate would have done something with increasing your own accuracy or strengthening light-based moves... but I guess it wasn't meant to be.

What would we even do with a Wooly Mammoth anyway?

Are scientists just gonna look at it and go "Oh ****, that's a hairy elephant" like it's some absolute revelation

It's presumably a first step - if they can clone woolly mammoths, they can clone other extinct animals, and sooner or later...

Just wait after they build the park. Some guy's gonna shut off the fence and the dinosaurs will run wild and eat people.

There's some talk of releasing them into the wild to restore some ancient grasslands as they used to be keystone species.

There's a lot of problems with this.

But the main one is that DNA actually has a fairly short half-life in the grand scheme of things and it's pretty much impossible to find Mammoth DNA intact enough to succesfully clone, so we don't really have to worry about the potential catastrophy of releasing animals into an enviroment that might no longer be suited to them.

But the main one is that DNA actually has a fairly short half-life in the grand scheme of things and it's pretty much impossible to find Mammoth DNA intact enough to succesfully clone, so we don't really have to worry about the potential carastrophy of releasing animals into an enviroment that might no longer be suited to them.

In a way it's almost cruel to bring a species back from extinction with no other plan than "Wow ain't that neat."


Nature's evolved past them being part of the ecosystem, so just trying to incorporate them back would be like forcing a square peg into a round hole, with an extremely high chance of failure.


So you're left with keeping them in the zoo/reserves, and once they die out again, then what. You wasted a ton of money for novelty's sake.

There is a reason the saying "history repeats itself" exists. We must shed our hubris and entitlement first.

Bottom hubris.

I feel like scientists should probably focus on conservation of extant species to avoid irreparable damage to the ecosystem rather than bring back long gone species that could potentially cause irreparable damage to the ecosystem, but that's just me

That's the smart choice.


But when have we ever chosen the smart choice?

Most ecologist would probably agree with that.

But that doesn't make for as exciting of a news story.

Tomorrow's news: Scientists mauled to death by Sabretooth Cat! Cat put down via lethal force. Sabretooth Cat is now extinct again. Scientist says they'll try again anyway.
